I would be curious why Marathons? They are more of a heavy duty touring tire not a nice road tire. I appreciate the want to go wider but Marathons aren't really top of the list for a road bike unless I was getting tons of flats. If you want the better ride you want a nice soft supple tire the width is good but a stiffer tire will not be as comfortable.
